[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1903618, member: 111184"] A lot of good advice. Choosing a barrel is both easy and difficult. Easy because there are several great SS And CM barrel manufacturers out there. Difficult (crap shoot) unless you do your homework = choose a barrel’s rifling, twist and length based on your rifle’s intended use. A Mark V (or vanguard) action is a plus. But how did that rifle get a Bell & Carlson stock? Older Mark V’s usually have beautiful walnut wood stocks in Weatherby’s California MC style. The stocks alone add value to older Weatherby rifles. Your gunsmith can make the call on truing the action, timing the bolt, etc and give you a price. I believe bedding the action to the stock is an inexpensive way to insure better accuracy, but I would replace the B&C stock. You can bed the stock yourself (YouTube videos are abundant). Balance the upgrade costs. Then decide to keep it or sell it. [/QUOTE]
